Hi Ben

You are allowed to use the free license for your own company.
But you are forbidden by EULA to use it for providing services to third parties or processing their data in your datacenter:

https://www.veeam.com/eula.html

4.0 Free Licenses and Community Edition Licenses.
Free and Community Edition License products can be used in Your own production environment and only by You in accordance with the terms and conditions of this EULA and the Licensing Policy. You may not use the Free and Community Edition Licenses to provide services to third parties (including support and consulting services for existing Free and Community Edition License installations) or to process third party data.

I recommend you get a VUL Backup Essentials license. If you need it for production workloads, you want to have guaranteed support in case something doesn't work. With the free license, you only get support on best effort.
Additionally, you can use Direct backup to object storage in our next version VBR V12/Agent V6. This enables you to have immutable backups stored in an offsite location.

Thanks
Fabian
